[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you go through all this - study for the bar, move to an expensive state you can’t affird on your own, etc. - only to divorce when you’re there? You can stay here, continue to earn a decent living and you won’t have to study for the bar. You are doing backflips and twisting yourself into a pretzel fur a man who doesn’t give a F about you but has convinced you he’s being understanding and reasonable.

Don’t move. You’ll be stuck there. [/quote]

+1. You're divorcing anyway. Stay where you are now and skip the bar exam. And go see a family lawyer stat so you can prepare for divorce on your terms. Which should be soon. Sounds like your husband has no interest in you or his child, so he may not even fight you for custody. And he pays less alimony if you stay where you are in a less expensive area and mostly or entirely support yourself -- for which it sounds like you don't need another bar exam.[/quote]

+2 You can't afford the new state on your own -- and you are about to be on your own -- and aren't licensed to practice there, so don't move there. Live with your child where you can afford to live and work and where you have the support of your own family and friends, if possible -- because you will get none from this guy. He wants to live a bachelor life in this fancy new place, with 50% equity invested in a home he will never step foot in because he won't owe alimony and his investment property looks like support to you (it isn't). Meanwhile, you will be living the life a divorced single parent in a place where you have not established a career and cannot afford, while being handcuffed to your ex husband because he owns half a house you cannot afford on your own (and therefore will have say on every improvement and sale). You will become his indentured servant, working to maintain his investment property.

Do NOT do this. Get your own lawyer immediately. [/quote]
